Strikes on Gaza intensify as ceasefire talks continue between Hamas and Israel

Hamas said it had informed Egypt and Qatar of its “approval of their proposal regarding a ceasefire” in the conflict. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the proposal was “far from Israel’s essential demands”, but the government would send negotiators for talks. In the meantime, “Israel is continuing the operation in Rafah to exert military pressure on Hamas in order to advance the release of our hostages and the other objectives of the war”.
